Highlight:

Can you be Catholic and libertarian? [View all] DonViejo Jun 2014 OP

I think it is quite obvious edhopper Jun 2014 #1

Then do you agree that being Catholic does not per se make one misogynist and homophobic? rug Jun 2014 #2

Yes edhopper Jun 2014 #3

Then do you agree that active Catholics in toto are complicit in misogyny and homophobia? rug Jun 2014 #4

To a degree edhopper Jun 2014 #5

That too is an incompatible view. rug Jun 2014 #6

how so? edhopper Jun 2014 #7

That position is that Catholics are complicit in misogyny and homophobia simply by attending Mass. rug Jun 2014 #8

"Are heroin dealers that get product from ME poppy fields complicit in supporting terrorism?" rug Jun 2014 #42

And all you got out of that was "religious belief is akin to peddling, or consuming heroin"? Really? cleanhippie Jun 2014 #52

Stop batting your eyelashes. That's your analogy. rug Jun 2014 #53

Sorry, brother, "religious belief is akin to peddling, or consuming heroin" is all yours. cleanhippie Jun 2014 #55

Ah, so your words about peddling heroin and terrorism were irrelevant and deflective. rug Jun 2014 #56

You missed a lot, apparently. cleanhippie Jun 2014 #59
